At the office of Dr. William Kalafatic, our team strives to provide our patients with the very best in cardiology healthcare services New York City has to offer. The fact is that when it comes to your overall health and wellness, heart health is by far one of the most important areas of concern. The heart is quite possibly the most vital organ, and in a country where nearly half of all adults are currently suffering from some form of heart disease or another, it’s important that we do our part to spread awareness and educate individuals as much as possible on the importance of keeping a healthy cardiovascular system.
One of the biggest issues affecting Americans, regardless of age, race, or gender, has got to be weight issues and obesity. The fact is that the numbers do not lie, and America is one of the most overweight countries in the world. Weight issues are one of the leading causes of heart related ailments and health concerns overall, and one of the best ways an individual can help to correct cardiovascular health concerns, such as cholesterol and other issues is by dropping weight. To help patients to get in their best overall health, Dr. Kalafatic and his team offer some of the best on-site weight management services available across NYC.
What Do We Offer for Weight Management?
Losing weight isn’t easy by any means – and the fact is that it can become exponentially harder as we age. Often, when we get older, and may not have had a diet and exercise routine in place for some years now, it can seem impossible to get back into the swing of things and break these old habits. This is why medically-assisted weight loss has been gaining tons of popularity amongst obese and overweight patients, finally looking to make a change.
Some of the weight management services offered by Dr. Kalafatic and his team include:
- Diet Counseling
Losing weight is no easy task, no matter what your situation might be and how much you have to lose. And for many of us, doing it on our own can be next to impossible. For individuals with such issues, we offer diet and weight loss counseling services – helping to educate individuals and their loved ones on making healthier choices, when it comes to diet and exercise. For many of us, we simply weren’t taught what being healthy means, and with diet counseling services, Dr. Kalafatic and his team will have you on the right path to altering your diet in a way that works for you, and your needs – not just some fad diet, or crash diet that will leave you starving and dreaming of your next meal.
